Whether youâve been diagnosed with diabetes or simply monitor your blood sugar levels to track your health, fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels are frequently measured. Since your fasting blood sugar is taken before eating a meal and your postprandial blood sugar is taken after the meal, your fasting level should be lower than your postprandial level. But if the numbers are reversed and your fasting blood sugar levels are higher than your postprandial levels, it could indicate a serious health problem. Know the Norms The American Diabetes Association, or ADA, recommends specific pre-meal and post-meal blood sugar ranges for healthy adults. According to the ADA, fasting blood sugar should fall between 70 to 130 milligrams per deciliter of blood. After you eat, this number should increase as your body absorbs sugar molecules from food. However, the ADA recommends that the postprandial blood glucose level stays at or below 180 milligrams per deciliter.
